Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Defoe's "Tour Through the Whole island of Great Britain", first published in three volumes in 1724-26, is an account of 13 "circuits or journies" made by the renowned author of such books as "Robinson Crusoe" and "Moll Flanders". This abridged edition is also the first illustrated version. Defoe's famous text is now complemented by contemporary paintings, sketches, and engravings of places he visited, industrial processes, activities and events he described, and people he knew. Many of these illustrations are little known, and some have never before been reproduced. Defoe's "Tour" has been the most often-quoted source for early 18th century British social and economic history. It is also a very personal book, conveying a sense of "the romance of trade" as felt by an enthusiast at a time of rapid commercial expansion. Different from earlier (largely antiquarian) descriptions of Great Britain, it is based on more first hand knowledge, is better organized, and is written in a vigorous and subtly amusing style. An introduction to this edition outlines Defoe's life, locates the "Tour" among his other works, and reveals the extent of his involvement in the life of early 18th century Britain. Notes to the text and captions to the illustrations explain contemporary technical and industrial processes and historical allusions, identify people, and provide information on buildings and places. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

From the Dust Jacket: "The 'canon' of writing attributed to the great eighteenth-century author Daniel Defoe has grown spectacularly over the years. From about 100 items in the first bibliographical listing in 1790, Defoe is credited, in the current CHECKLIST prepared by the bibliographer John Robert Moore, with no fewer than 570 works. This book investigates the phenomenon and poses the question: can these works all be by Defoe?". First Edition. Hard Cover. Publisher's blue cloth/Jacket not priced or clipped. 8vo. ix, 210pp. .…

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xxxiv, 161 pp. From the blurb: "In the centuries after his death the number of works supposed to have been written by Daniel Defoe has expanded from just over 100 titles to a staggering 570. What is equally remarkable is that a large proportion of these were attributed to him on the basis of internal evidence of style and content alone. P.N. Furbank and W.R. Owens believe that this Defoe canon is grotesquely inflated. In Defoe De-Attributions they list 252 items in the standard Checklist of Defoe's writings by J.R. Moore which they regard as suspect, tracing in each case how the work first came to be ascribed to Defoe and offering reasons for distrusting the ascription. There has never been anything in English Literature to compare with the amazing expansion of the Defoe canon (though there are closer parallels in art history), and likewise there has perhaps never been an essay in literary de-attribution on quite this heroic scale. The labours of Furbank and Owens make it possible to see Defoe clearly for the first time. Defoe De-Attributions follows on from their earlier book The Canonisation of Daniel Defoe (1988), in which they explored the chequered history of the Defoe canon and the personalities of those who constructed it, and enunciated some general principles of author-attribution.
